This deceptively spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a decent plot in a quiet cul-de-sac in Marl Top, Birmingham. The single-storey layout and garage will appeal strongly to downsizers seeking low-step living with generous off-road parking and a private rear garden. The property is offered chain free and is Freehold.
Accommodation includes a large kitchen/diner, conservatory, two reception rooms, two double bedrooms (master with en-suite) and a separate family bathroom — all arranged on one level across approximately 901 sq ft. The living room features a traditional fireplace and garden views; the overall interior shows some dated decor and would benefit from cosmetic updating to realise full value.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, no flood risk and easy parking for multiple vehicles. Local schooling is mixed: several well-rated secondary schools nearby but one local primary has an Inadequate Ofsted grade. Note the area records higher crime levels and higher-than-average council tax, and the wider locality shows signs of deprivation — important factors for prospective buyers to factor into safety and running-cost considerations.
This bungalow suits buyers seeking comfortable, single-storey living with scope to modernise and add value. It’s especially appropriate for those wanting peace, parking and a manageable garden, but buyers who prioritise low-crime areas or top-ranked primary schools may want to investigate further.
